How a small fish makes big sounds
Science Sessions are brief conversations with cutting-edge researchers, National Academy members, and policymakers as they discuss topics relevant to today's scientific community. Learn the behind-the-scenes story of work published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), plus a broad range of scientific news about discoveries that affect the world around us.
In this episode, Verity Cook from Charité – Berlin University of Medicine explains how a fish 12 millimeters in length produces sounds exceeding 140 decibels.
In this episode, we cover:
•[00:00] Introduction
•[01:37] Can you tell us more about the fish you studied?
•[02:26] What are some of the methods you used to characterize the fish’s sound production mechanism?
•[03:49] Can you walk us through the process of how these fish produce sound?
•[05:02] What are the broader implications of your findings?
•[05:53] Conclusion.
